Morrow was terrible last season due to fighting through injuries, and it looks like his decision to skip surgery and use rest to heal has not worked. Morrow can't skate. He can't play. He is a net negative to the team. Continuing from last season, he produces nothing on offense, doesn't have the speed to get back on defense, and has no physical game left. The only time he shows up on the scoresheet these days is when he's taking a stupid penalty.

Morrow is getting more powerplay time than Loui, Ryder, or Roy. Why?

Gully doesn't seem to have the cajones to bench Morrow or reduce his role, so Joe has to step in. Morrow's body has broken down far too young, unfortunately. It's time to trade Morrow to clear space for the next guy up.

I feel bad for Brenden that injuries have cut short his career, but at the same time most players don't get to play until they're 40 like Jagr and Whitney. Some bow out earlier and it's perfectly normal.

Seriously do not understand how people still defend him (twitter/facebook/official site/etc etc). Are we just seeing something completely different than what the rest of the Stars community is or am I just crazy?

I wish Joe would wake up and see this problem. Morrow has been on the downgrade since he returned from his spectacular Olympic performance in 2010.

But the dude keeps finding a damn horseshoe and remains on the team as captain. Joe trades Ribeiro and Ott because of their lackluster performance to get this team to the postseason for the past four years but keeps Morrow who is also part of that problem? I just don't understand this.

Morrow right now is far more ineffective then Modano was in his last season with us. Modano could at least still skate.

I strongly disagree. Modano could skate fine, but he was so disengaged that his skating brought no value. He wouldn't ever stop on a puck. His contribution to puck battles was skating by and lazily poking one handed. Modano was treating the game like no contact pond hockey. He was terrible. If he had any other name on his jersey, he wouldn't have even been on the roster.

With his contract, the Stars might get to find out how that new concept of trading cap space works to get a team to take him.

I barely paid attention to the details of the new CBA, but I remember this being talked about right after they signed the other one in 2005. Can someone break down in simple terms what the rules are for trading a player but keeping salary?
